The Reason For So Few Posts

In case you're wondering why we've had so few posts the last few days, just watch these clips. If you watch on repeat for 48 hours, then you have what we've been enduring.

Part One: Sharon tells Ryan not to trust Adam.

Part Two: Sheila telling Adam what a great person she is, and how hard this game is on her and only her.

Part Three: They boys compare stories.

Part Four: Sheila lectures Sharon on the greatness of Sheila.

Jam-Packed Final Episodes!

For a game that's winding down, they're really throwing a lot of stuff in that has to be televised.

Sunday's episode is really a combination of the usual Sunday and Tuesday format, with the main events being the nominations AND veto competition. Yet they also must fit in the luxury competition, as it's another piece of product placement. They can't give away a prize package centered around a movie that opens next week without showing it.

Plus, the producers cannot resist showing Sheila and Adam shackled together. Yes, that can be a short segment, but it's too comical for them not to include it.

Add in the campaigning, and that is a lot of material for a sixty-minute episode.

Tuesday's episode is really Wednesday's a day early, although there's some talk that it will not be live. It will start with the veto meeting, followed by some campaigning, then move on to the eviction and the beginning of the first part of the final HOH competition. Even if it's not a live show, though, I can't see them NOT showing Natalie's entrance into the jury house. I beg, beg, beg the producers to let us see the reactions of James, Chelsia, and Matt when she walks in the house.

There's also some late-breaking news about the finale. Currently, it's scheduled for Sunday, April 27, but the networks are negotiating a Democratic debate for that evening. If that does occur, it was said on House Calls that they will move the finale to Tuesday, April 29.

No matter which day it airs, there's still two episodes of material that needs to be squeezed into the finale. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in previous seasons the final two HOH competitions were shown in one final "normal" episode before the last show. Now they must include this material before they can even get to the cast reunion and final vote.

I think the way they're cramming this all together is an indication that this season is considered a ratings and personality failure...which we've all been saying the entire season.

Ryan/Adam Blowout Coming Soon?

Like IndyMike, the real world has kept me away from the feeds most of the day. The few times I did check in (or read accounts on other sites), all I ever saw was Sheila driving Adam nuts with her whining while they were chained together. At one point late last night, she even went so far as to complain how everybody has shit on her through the entire game while she's done absolutely nothing to deserve it. Really, Sheila?

A bit of drama after the veto competition, though. After Ryan won, Adam winked at Sheila and told her there's nothing to worry about. Sharon noticed this, and informed Ryan. A few minutes ago, Ryan confronted Adam, but just as their conversation became heated Sheila walked in.

Look for this conversation to begin again later.
